A heavy, right-slanted sans with rounded, tightly drawn bowls and broadly cut terminals. Strokes stay consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense counters and a compact, punchy texture. Curves are built from smooth, circular geometry, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) feel taut and stable, reinforcing a forward-leaning rhythm. The lowercase shows single-storey forms and sturdy joins, keeping the overall silhouette simple and forceful.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, sports or fitness branding, promotional graphics, posters, and packaging where strong presence is needed. It can also work for UI labels or signage at larger sizes, though the tight counters and heavy weight may reduce clarity in small text blocks.
The strong slant and saturated color give it a fast, assertive tone that reads as energetic and competitive. It feels contemporary and pragmatic rather than refined, emphasizing impact and momentum.
Likely designed to deliver maximum punch in an italic sans: a simple, rounded construction with a strong forward slant for speed and emphasis. The goal appears to be a versatile, modern display workhorse that maintains consistent weight and color across letters and numerals.
The italics are clearly structural rather than calligraphic: angles and terminals are clean and cut, with little to no tapering. Numerals are bold and straightforward, matching the letterforms’ compact apertures and rounded geometry for a cohesive, headline-oriented voice.
